Yes, I recommend this pro
If you go to them, they do not charge an appraisal fee. Mr. Van Emden spent two hours with me going over the coin collection in detail. I did not know where to start and was afraid I would spend hours or days trying to sort a bunch of coins without knowing what I was doing. Mr. Van Emden very quickly separated out the valuable coins from the pocket change. He was very pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. It was my impression that he assigned fair values to the coins, and made what I considered a reasonable offer for the collection. He said he had been collecting and appraising coins for 40 years, and I believe it. At one point he tested if a coin had silver in it by the sound it made when dropped on the desk (a pretty neat trick). I would recommend this company, and I will go back if I need something else appraised. I was worried about being ripped off by a coin appraiser, but I felt that I was treated honestly.
